At Concordia University we do not charge _anything_ for scanning
computer graded exam sheets.  The cost of the entire process, from
scanner sheets to printed exam results and analysis is covered by
Computing Services.
We also do a little scanning for research questionnaires, but we
don't like to do this, so we don't widely advertise it.  When we do
it we charge by box of scanner sheets.  For a box of 500 we charge
$60.00.  In these cases we just scan the sheets and pass back a
DOS file on diskette.
